Best Tire Poems

A tire swing hanging from a willow tree
barely swaying to and fro
my small feet sweep
and kick up dirt 
on the ground beneath and below.
                     ...

Ode to my crocs -- BALD from high wear,
In serious need of good-riddance
During my TREAD on a wet floor with care 
In the throws of a SKID and imBALANCE
By the absence of any TRACTION
Between the floor and the sole of my croc
In need of replacement...

In my urban habitat,
On a bridge’s ramp,
Heard a noise like rat-a-tat,
Giving me a cramp.

Taxi driver passed my way,
Pointing to my wheel;
Couldn’t hear, with traffic’s fray,
What miles would soon reveal.

Soon I felt familiar thumps – 
Oh no! My tire is flat!
Riding over highway bumps
Tempts rubber to...

Golden sun rays warm the  fields  as greens fade    
Hum speech breath revolve deep and silence lace
rustling reddish, tan, golden leaves astray   
emerald green garden  lawn looking up
gnarly old tree of deep raw umber shades
mid gold swaying...

Just a tire on a rope,
hangin from a limb in the yard,
No big thing.
But this sight is special 
for those who learn life lessons 
from a tire swing.

You can do it, just hang on,
Your turn now to ride upon, 
the tire swing.
I will push ,but...

When They Tire, Give Them A Songbird's Sweetest Glee

Cried critics to a sad poet- " Write us happy poems now!
This day while the western sky sails in blue give us gold
Sad poet pondered the forceful request wondering how
Now that his ink had dried and his...

sorry if bold

Blowout Flat Tire At the Cemetery Steer Clear

While on the corner of the street I adhered
A injured open wounded possum peers
Running back and forth so unclear
A loud bang I almost crash seems I have a flat tire
I jacked up my Jeep Wagoneer
Of which my blow...

As innocent as a sealed envelope,
and as purposeful as a postman,
in a practical and dirtproof short skirt,
I go the long way round through the dark forest.
I carry a present for the Ideal,
not cake and wine, oh, no -
the crystal vessel with my heart inside.
The distant...

Sometimes I tire along the path—
Colors not bright 
As they once were;
Shapes in my hands
Turning to water,
Dribbling to indifferent earth— 
Her reply to everything
The same stale belch—

The temptation
Is to believe 
That I have been lied to—
By some great Oz
Behind a celestial curtain, 
The cloak all...

He gazed across the wind swept meadow
To a lone  tree  standing there
Its jagged,  silhouette  surrendered 
‘neath a sky more fiery embered
Than
His flaming hair, which crowned him then.
But--- it was neither tree nor sky
That stole his youthful eye.
It was
The tire swing
Whispering, ...

The swish of some passing cars unnerving me still
With the rapid clack of my windshield wipers,
When, suddenly, I felt a most unwanted chill
Like the rapid hiss of a hundred captured vipers.
And I knew, at the worst time possible, my tire
Right front, passenger side, was now...
